Our Staff



Doctor

  • Mary Sue Lux D.V.M.


    Hi, I am Dr. Mary Sue Lux. I grew up in St. Paul, Minnesota and received my veterinary degree in 1986 from the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine. I am the owner of the Westosha Veterinary Hospital. My husband Mark owns and operates the Paris Pet Crematory, helping our clients at the end of their pet's life.

    I really love veterinary medicine and taking care of all of your pets. Over the years I have met so many wonderful and caring pet owners that really have also become my friends. I have a new found interest in veterinary dentistry and I also enjoy working up medical cases and performing surgery.

    My life is full and busy these days with a menagerie of four dogs, Indy, Elsie, Jackson and Atom Bomb, two cats, Cicely, Looney, and two horses, Tari and Fire. My husband  Mark, and I have three children, D'Angelo, Todora and David. I am  happy to show off pictures of them anytime! We enjoy hiking, swimming, biking and when I can, I like to relax with a good novel.

  • Jen Thelen D.V.M.


         Hello! I am Dr. Jen Thelen. I have been with Westosha Veterinary Hospital since June of 1999.  I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, receiving my docterate in Veterinary Medicine.  I completed my undergraduate studies in Animal Science at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.  I enjoy many aspects of veterinary medicine and have a  strong interest in ultrasound internal medicine and dermatology.

        I grew up on a beef farm in Shawano, Wisconsin, which is about 3 hours north of Salem.  I have 2 sisters, 2 nephews and a neice. I was married in December of 2002 to Brett Osgood.  He is also a veterinarian with a large family.  Together we share our lives with a Bullmastiff named Maggie and our two tuxedo cats, Tyler and Dupa.  I also have Blue, an old retired Quarter Horse, who is living out his days up on the farm in Shawano.  I miss having a horse in the area since one of my favorite pass times is riding.  I also love to read, garden and spend as much time as possible outdoors. 

    My husband Brett and I, were blessed with a healthy baby boy, Jack Ryan Osgood, born on October 14, 2005.

        I hope to see you soon at the clinic.  You will find we are all very passionate about animals and strive to ensure your pets health and well being.

  • Dr. Lubrimir Ianokov D.V.M. , D.V.M.


    We call on Dr. Ianokov to come to our hospital for surgeries that need his expertise. "Dr. Lu" performs surgeries such as anterior cruciate repairs, hip surgeries, complicated fracture repairs and disc fenestrations. We administer and monitor the anesthesia and he efficiently and successful performs the surgery. This allows your pet to be close by instead of at a distant referral center. In most cases the patient can go home the next day following surgery!
